News about the new QNX Distro

QNX is about to release their entire development environment, to the world, for free. In addition to this, they will be releasing the source of the majority of their OS. Apparently they've excluded the kernel and parts of the core graphics subsystem. So basically, all the parts of their technology which is licensed from other companies will remian closed source.

In addition to this, there's a bunch of other rumors about their new compatibility with Linux, and X. We'll have to wait an see about this.

In case you're wondering, their development environment installs much like a normal desktop, complete with browsers, mail clients, file managers, graphical debuggers and package format. (There's been an alpha release for the past few months...hopefully they get the beta out soon.)

"Most" of the operating system open source isn't good enough for me. Why would I want to run a *mostly* open source operating system when I have a *completely* open source operating system that does more already?
